Is the chloride ion an organic molecule?

No, the chloride ion (Cl-) is not an organic molecule. Organic molecules are based on carbon atoms and typically contain hydrogen atoms. The chloride ion is an inorganic ion composed of a single chlorine atom that has gained an extra electron.


Is KCL an organic compounds?

No. Because organic compounds must contain Carbon (C). KCl is Potassium (K) Chloride (Cl) and is considered a salt. Salts are ionic compounds containing cations other that Hydrogen ion (H+ ) and anions other than the Hydroxyl ion (OH- )


Is cupric chloride organic or inorganic?

It is inorganic. Cupric chloride contains only the elements copper and chlorine. In order to be considered organic a compound must contain carbon and hydrogen.


Is lithium chloride organic or inorganic?

Lithium chloride is an inorganic compound because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. It is a salt composed of lithium and chlorine ions.


Is chloride opaque?

Chloride of what? The word chloride can refer to a chemical compound in which one or more chlorine atoms are covalently bonded in the molecule. This means that chlorides can be either inorganic or organic compounds. The simplest example of an inorganic covalently-bonded chloride is hydrogen chloride, HCl (a colorless acid). A simple example of an organic covalently-bonded (an organochloride) chloride is chloromethane (CH3Cl), often called methyl chloride (a colorless gas). Sodium Chloride is (as a monocrystalline solid) colorless but as a powder, opaque.
